Compatibility conditions of structural mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the integration of the integrated force method for structures and the completed Beltrami-Michell formulation for elasticity has been presented, which allows mapping of variables and facile movement among different structural analysis formulations.

Structural analysis of unbonded concrete overlays under wheel and environmental loads

TL;DR: It was found that both layer compressibility and separation effects need to be accommodated in a reliable mechanistic model for unbonded concrete overlays, and if these effects are neglected, significant errors may result.

Viscous inertial mass damper (VIMD) for seismic responses control of the coupled adjacent buildings

TL;DR: The VIMD is demonstrated to be a useful alternative for engineering practice in CCM vibration mitigation strategies because it requires a smaller damping coefficient and axial stiffness, which can result in smaller damper sizes and member sections of the sky bridge.

Stiffness modeling of a family of 6-DoF parallel mechanisms with three limbs based on screw theory

TL;DR: In this article, the stiffness modeling of a family of six degrees of freedom (DoF) parallel mechanisms with configurations of 3-RUPUPU is presented, and the stiffness analysis and modeling of the family of mechanisms is developed by a novel screw-theory based method.
